who had the over
on “you know’s” from Dale today?
Gameday Premium is screwed up. Hardy loves to face the changeup, but hates to face the changeup. Does he have the little angel/devil baseballs on his shoulder during his ABs? We need to find out which one is winning the argument during JJs hot streaks, and kill the other one.
Welcome to the previous game thread
Stay awhile!

In my brief experience with it on Saturday
Everyone had that.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Ok, this is the second time today I've asked this.
Is the bullpen up yet?
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Figures I had Ishikawa benched on my fantasy team today
take that, everyone who questioned my decision to have him on my roster!
…except I still failed.
Suppan's WPA is at -.486.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Well, so far it's cost them the opportunity to build a big lead
On a day when the Giants pulled Lincecum early.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
wow if supp is this bad against the giants...
i’m really looking forward to this weekend against the cubs
real glad the rotation works out so we can have him throw against the cubs…real glad

As much as it sucks that the Brewers are currently losing
this game is much more interesting than last year’s scoreless-through-9 opening day

Funny story from Opening Day last year
I was in a meeting for work, but thankfully could see a TV over someone’s shoulder, so I watched the Brewers pull ahead, and when Gagne blew the save I got this text from my dad:
“10 MILLION DOLLAR WASTE OF SKIN”
i laughed out loud in the meeting and couldn’t explain why. That may be why I don’t work there anymore.

This is how I know win expectancy is a flawed system.
Removing Suppan from the game should have upped the Crew’s WE at least 10%, even before Nelson hits.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I don't know
Taking Suppan out after 4 only increases the chance that Riske pitches.

Suppa(n) Bad
Boy am I ever glad Macha went with the veteran arm of Suppan for the opener. One of the young guys might’ve given up 6 runs in 4 innings! Oh, wait…
better than CC!
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
never mind
very similar- but lower expectations!
CC 4.1 IP- 6 ER, 0K, 5BB, 2WP
Suppan 4 IP- 6 ER, 1K, 1BB, 2HBP

Let's say Macha was right and the pressure would have gotten to YoGa today
That’s two bad outings we would have endured.
YoGa today and Suppan on Saturday.
Or Macha knew the forecast was going to be rain
he does have experience in the bay area, after all.
I’m in favor of the explanations that attribute supernatural powers to our new manager.

*Bright side
only down 1 run in a game Suppan started against Lincecum gives one reason to have hope……
Swing and a drive, left center and deep, get up.....get outta here gone, for Ryan Braun - What a shot by Braun, and they have the lead.... - Bob Uecker bottom of the 8th, Game 162 - 2008
True.
This is still much better than I thought it’d be during the first inning.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Giants at 71% to win through 5.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
that can't be right
lincecum is out, and so it suppan
i’d estimate it as brewers 85% to win
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
So, I mentioned something similar to this before
But Cameron and Rickie Weeks have been on base six times in six opportunities.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
"Fred Lewis?" Is that an actual baseball player?
Or are the Giants running a fan-can-play-in-the-actual-game promotion? “Drywall salesman Fred Lewis, please report to the player’s entrance with your ticket.”

Fantasy Question
I’m thinking about a trade which would involve me giving up Mike Cameron, Fausto Carmona, and Colby Rasmus (the other player is a big cards fan) and getting Curtis Granderson and Emilio Bonifacio in return.
I like Granderson

"Here comes Bill Castro"
Can he pitch for us?
It's true.
That inning felt like a disaster, at least compared to the result.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
BTW - 15 ballots in the Over/Under contest thought McClung will start 15 or more games this season.
I’m working on crunching the numbers for a post for another time.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
LOL, sorry

and if I score less than .500, I’ll just claim I mixed up the meanings of “over” and “under”;)
I was going to ask you how bad it was
but I forgot you have radio only.
(Feel free to mock me in my despair. He really is wearing out his welcome with random precision, isn’t he?)
I'd like to see him pitch well too.
He did get out of the inning with minimal damage, but the problem with a pitcher who walks the tightrope is what happens when they’re done.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Listening on the radio
I was kind of spacing off, had no idea where we were in the lineup, until I heard the Giants announcer say, “Pitch is outside, it’s lunged at …”
I instantly guessed Hart was up. And unfortunately, I was right.
Clung in for his second inning
And starts it off with a 55 ft pitch.

better than 2nd
the point of hitting 5th is a “second leadoff” after your #4 hits the grandslam afterall.
the hitter in the 2 hole shouldn’t get the leadoff hitter out in a gidp either.
so…we’re arguing for JJ 8th, but we saw how poorly he did hitting before the pitcher last year – he cannot handle it psychologically.
Hardy doesn't respond well to hitting anywhere other than 2nd

Hyatt
I’ve got a fantasy trade question for you but I’m not sure if it’s in this thread or the old one
Ah
I’m thinking about a trade which would involve me giving up Mike Cameron, Fausto Carmona, and Colby Rasmus (the other player is a big cards fan) and getting Curtis Granderson and Emilio Bonifacio in return. Mainly, I need more runs out of my outfield position, which is why I’m going for Granderson. I picked up Rasmus on waivers today because I knew this guy really wanted him, which is why he’s in the deal.
Do not make that trade.
Bonifacio is nothing.
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
Granderson is worth it
I’m a big believer in Bonifacio, but a lot aren’t (see Kow). You know what you’ll get with Cam, and you are giving up waiver fodder in Rasmus and Carmona who had a fluke rookie year. I’d say absolutely do it.
I just sit back and root for the taser
I'm on Twitter now. www.twitter.com/Enrico_Palazzo_
Since you just plucked Rasmus off of waivers to make this deal
the way I would rationalize that is he doesn’t really even count. It’s really Cam/Carm for Granderson/Flavor of the week. I would agree with Hyatt that you do the deal. I would only add that you are getting the best player in Granderson of the whole deal, so that makes it easier to swallow. Granderson is like a top 5 (round) pick. Maybe top 50 player? (Guessing). You are turning 2 waivers and a late Cameron pick into an early pick. Do It!
Suppan, who has seen his ERA rise from 4.12 in his final year in St. Louis to 4.62 in 2007 and 4.96 last year, isn't an option in fantasy leagues - Rotoworld
